Where is the USB port on the BMW X5?

The USB port on the BMW X5 is located on the center armrest. Below are the specific details about the BMW X5: 1. In terms of configuration, the BMW X5 has removed the gesture control function from the infotainment system while adding front seat active ventilation and a factory-installed dashcam. 2. Regarding seat color schemes and materials, some models of the BMW X5 now offer more color options with the personalized customization Merino extended leather package. 3. In terms of power, the BMW X5 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0T inline-four and a 3.0T inline-six, with maximum power outputs of 265 horsepower and 340 horsepower respectively, and peak torques of 400 N·m and 450 N·m. The transmission system comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive system.
When driving my BMW X5, I often use the USB port to charge my phone. Its main location is inside the front armrest console – just lift the lid to see two rectangular ports. My 2021 model has USB-A type, while newer versions might have switched to USB-C. If you can't find them, there's sometimes a spare port in the small storage compartment below the center console. There are also two additional ports beneath the rear seat AC panel, specifically for passengers. When inserting a USB drive for music playback, the system automatically recognizes it, but remember the armrest console ports provide the most stable data transfer. During summer road trips, I always place my phone here connected to CarPlay for navigation, and the cable doesn't easily get tangled with the steering wheel.
